PDE options configuration

PDE feature collects performance data on the HLR Router system, generates report files in CSV format, and then exports the CSV files to the remote customer SFTP server. Performance data provides information about system performance, workload, issues, and/or issues experienced by the system at the given period.

The PDE feature collects performance data for the following purposes:

application performance monitoring
hardware performance monitoring
system workload monitoring
network connectivity monitoring
user activity monitoring
signal traffic monitoring

PDE collects the following types of performance data:

Active Alarms
Alarms/Events
Measurements
KPI
PDBI logs
PDBI Status
Security logs
SS7/HLR Router Configuration

On SOAMP servers, PDE collects the following SS7/Sigtran/HLR Router configuration data:

Associations
Link
Linkset
Route
RMU
Mated HLR
Exception Routing
Adjacent Servers and groups
Local Signaling Points
Remote Signaling Points
Association Configuration Sets
SCCP Options
MTP3 Options
M3UA Options
Local Congestion Options

The type of performance data that is collected cannot be limited to a subset of data.

The Tekelec HLR Router > Configuration > PDE > Options page allows you to enable and disable PDE and to specify the remote server, remote server login information, and the exported file storage location on the remote server. When the PDE export is enabled the PDE process will start at the next 15 minute interval. The PDE process will continue to run automatically every 15 minutes - at :00, :15, :30, and :45 - until it is disabled through the GUI.
